Theatrythm Final Fantasy hitting North America and Europe this summer

March 22nd, 2012 by Sharjeel Hanif

According to a Square Enix press release, Theatrhythm (pronounced “Theater Rhythm”) Final Fantasy has been officially confirmed for localization – hitting both North America and Europe some time over the summer.

For those unaware, Theatrhythm is a music game in the same vein as Elite Beat Agents (easily my favorite Nintendo DS game), specifically geared towards the Final Fantasy series, and sprinkled with added JRPG elements on top!

If you’d like to learn more about the game, you can view our extensive Theatrhythm coverage by clicking here. To view the full press release, hit the jump!

Personally, this is my most anticipated Final Fantasy release of the year. Rhythm games are an absolute blast and Final Fantasy music through the generations is constantly memorable. Plus, I love all the crossover elements. Are you interested? Make sure to take our poll.

Press Release

LOS ANGELES (Mar. 22, 2012) – Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in the Americas, announced THEATRHYTHM™ FINAL FANTASY® (pronounced “theater rhythm”) exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system. This year marks the 25th anniversary of FINAL FANTASY, and THEATRHYTHM FINAL FANTASY is the first music rhythm game in the history of the world famous franchise.

Developed by rhythm game veteran indieszero, SQUARE ENIX brings more than 70 musical scores spanning 25 years to THEATRHYTHM FINAL FANTASY. The title features music from key events, lush field themes and decisive battle arrangements.

THEATRHYTHM FINAL FANTASY features a hybrid of music rhythm gameplay with RPG elements. Adorably re-designed heroes from the catalogue of FINAL FANTASY titles will set out on an adventure to combat memorable villains with the rhythmic taps of the player’s stylus. Players can:

Revisit their most cherished memories from each FINAL FANTASY title Strive to achieve the highest ranks in the challenge mode Collect and share “dark notes,” a random music sheet that is riddled with hidden loot within the Chaos Shrine Seek out crystal shards to unlock hidden characters

hey it’s GOOD NEWS. Type 0 is confirmed, well not officially but thru square-enix that there localizing. Usually the save the best for a certain time like E3 will most likely

I hope type 0 does have ps3 port like how mgs psp and monster were only from psp then it remastered to ps3. however psp remasters should be another topic lol.

This game should include downloadable episode, i want a battle/event/field based on type 0 or ff14. I hope for this and more new ones from ff1 to 13. Most likely it is music dlc. More character would be cool, as well.
